  I bought a new dress today.

  Did you sign on the dotted line?

  I did

  They own you now.

  I pay my bills.

  I know you do. They still own you.

  I don’t understand.

  Borrowed money is borrowed time. Before we know it we are out of both and they get what’s left over.

  The dress wasn’t that much. I’ll just return it.

  Doesn’t matter. The dress isn’t the issue. Keep the dress.

  I don’t understand.

  Shhhhh. Did you hear that? They’re coming.
